It’s an incredible change when you just drive 40 Minutes South of Marrakech. A scenic drive through the High Atlas Mountains brought us into the Ourika Valley, just a small part of the famous National Park of Toubkal, a great and green valley, due to its many waterfalls and several attractions and a popular escape from the summer heat of Marrakesh. The region is inhabited by Berber people who practice a traditional way of life. Despite its proximity to Marrakech. It is time to see the Authentic Berber villages on top hills of green and red mountains. Possibility to visit a typical berber family’s house, to enjoy a traditional tea ceremony and to learn how we make green tea! It is advised to remember to wear appropriate hiking shoes and clothes because, there are small waterfalls to climb to at the footsteps of the High Atlas Mountains. It’s a medium effort climb that takes about an hour and a half. You will have lunch just right at the bank of the river in the last authentic berber village of Sitti-Fatma. The best day to visit Ourika is Monday or Friday you will get mingled with locals in the berber souk. They show all their items: fruits, vegetables, cereal, animals…!! After lunch departure to Marrakech. You will explore the peaceful Medina of Essaouira is a UNESCO World Heritage listed city, an example of a late 18th-century fortified town and it is entirely pedestrianised  and the souks are a joy to explore. And if you like a nice walk along the beach of the city. A city on the coastline of the Atlantic Ocean where there is the forest of the Argan Trees (Goat Trees). At the province of Essaouira, you will visit one of the cooperatives of women, where they are extracting the ‘’Moroccan oil’’, known for its cosmetic benefits. The sounds of seagulls will replace the noises of Marrakech also a stress less city,  where you will see different arts: painting and sculpture, especially the paintings of Essaouira’s local artists. Several small art galleries are found all over the town.
